Custom Telecaster - Jaguar- Firebird hybrid... Bigsby or no Bigsby

[Vinnie1971]

Offsets look good with a tremolo .. just saying

They do and they look just as good without

That shape looks great. I would stick with a vintage tele bridge.

Yes Bigsby.
Or Alternately the Jag /Jazzmaster tremolo...

Yes, with Gotoh compensated grooved saddles. If I go for the Bigsby it will use a modified vintage bridge

The Bigsby, like all tremolos, has to be setup right or you'll run into problems. Since you want to have a bender too, then the Bigsby makes good sense.

Ok just before I say yes .... what do you guys think? ( it’s not screwed down just yet...)

I don't want a trem/vibrato on my guitars....

This one looks very busy with the Bigsby. I'd go without.

I agree on both counts.

It is strung through from the back as well but I’d hate to take the Bigsby off and leave holes. The offset shape means vibramate is off the table too.

It does look very busy with it and if it’s like my other B5 equipped guitar - it got in the way of the controls...
